In what could be a major boost toSanta Barbara’s tourism, the controver-sial waterfront Entrada project finally hasa new owner.The project has languished for years.

Developer Bill Levy once promised topartner with Ritz-Carlton to open up lux-ury timeshares a block from the water-front, but when the economy tanked,Levy’s investors bailed, and Levy endedup filing for bankruptcy.Now the owners of the famed Century

Hotel in Los Angeles have purchased theformer Entrada project on lower StateStreet and plan to build the project outwithin two years.“I really hope the new owners mean

what they say in terms of getting financ-ing,” said Santa Barbara Mayor HeleneSchneider. “The project needs to be donewell and it needs to be done right. I trulyhope the new owners will be able to fol-low through with what they are promis-ing.”35 State Street Hotel Partners, pur-

OBITUARIES

Frenemies, tweetheartsandwell-shaped buttocksI want to talk about words for a

moment, before they are all gone.I’m not kidding. With videos andimages taking over the world, wordsmay go the way of the way of thedodo bird, the Taco Bell Drive-through Diet, and Barry Manilow.In the future, we may have word

museums, where kids go in and playin an interactive ‘talking area’ wherethey get to do what their grandpar-ents did in the old days, make awk-ward, funny sounds that actuallymeant stuff.Right now, though, words still rule. In

fact, those with the coolest terms run theworld. They do. Marketers know this. It’sall based on the highly technical and scientif-ic fact that people are basically stupid. Ifsomething isn’t working under one terminolo-gy, let’s say a chocolate milkshake, the mar-keters know that all they have to do is callthat thing by a different name, a mocha frap-puccino, and we’ll believe it’s a differentthing. That’s why the unemployment officebecame the employment development depart-ment, used cars became “previously driven”and “you’ll be on hold until at least nextTuesday,” became “your call is important tous.”Nobody knows this better than politicians.

Insiders know that whoever defines the termswins the debate. Democrats are particularlylousy at this. Democrats like to sit down withtheir mocha frappuccinos and pontificate onthe intellectual and moral aspects of thingslike health care using terms like state-basedexchanges and capitation.Snore.Do you think anybody wants to hear that

kind of gibberish? No way! The Republicans

and especially the Tea Party peopleknow better. With one slogan:“Take America Back!” they forcedthe Democrats to sip their frappuc-cinos in line at the employmentdevelopment department. TheDemocrats should have fought backwith terms like “Fat Cats.”Seriously. Fat Cats. As in theCEOs of banks and financial institu-tions that are still too big to fail.Mortgage lenders who whisperedthe benefits of interest-only loans ineverybody’s ear. Government over-

sight guys who slept through the entire realestate debacle. Fat cats. It’s a term that unitesus in universal contempt and disgust – muchlike the term, homework.

***

Okay, enough about politics. Here aresome of my favorite new terms, some ofwhich I’ve made up, but most of them areactual real words.June-uary…as in, it was 85 degrees on

State Street Monday! It’s that time of theyear in Santa Barbara when you sit outsidelistening to the cool bands at the LivingCulture by the Mall and call your snowed-infriends in Chicago to tell em’ about the peskyheat wave we’re having.Frenemy…A person who is both an enemy

and a friend. This word somehow defines ourreality-show-driven society better than most.It scares me. It is also a real word.Tweetheart…Ahhh…one whose Twitter

Tweets are enjoyed by others.Refudiate…Sarah Palin made this word

up, but Webster’s just made it legit. As in:

NEWS IN BRIEFArizona shooter indicted

A federal grand jury in Arizona indicted Jared Lee Loughneron Wednesday on charges of attempting to assassinateDemocratic Representative Gabrielle Giffords and the attempt-ed murder of two of her staff members.Loughner, 22, is accused of opening fire on Giffords and a

crowd of bystanders outside a grocery store on January 8,killing six people, including a federal judge, and wounding 13others. He is expected to face additional federal and statecharges.Authorities have said Giffords, who remains hospitalized

with a bullet wound to the head, was the gunman's primary tar-get."Today's charges are just the beginning of our legal action.

We are working diligently to ensure that our investigation isthorough and that justice is done for the victims and their fami-lies," U.S. Attorney Dennis K. Burke said in a statement.

Giffords nears transfer to rehabU.S. Rep Gabrielle Giffords is expected to be discharged from

a Tucson hospital on Friday, two weeks after she was shotthrough the head, to begin in-patient rehabilitation at a facility inTexas, her office said on Wednesday.After considering numerous rehab centers around the country,

the congresswoman's family opted to move her to the TIRRMemorial Hermann Rehabilitation Hospital in Houston, citing itsrelative proximity to her hometown of Tucson and its reputationas a top-flight facility.Giffords' husband, astronaut and space shuttle commander

Mark Kelly, also has family in Houston and he pointed toMemorial Hermann's "national reputation for treating seriouspenetrating brain injuries."Memorial Hermann has been ranked as one of the top five

rehabilitation hospitals in the United States for the past 21 yearsby U.S. News &World Report magazine.

um for speakers, projection screen room,security barrier, sheriff desk, new publicseating furniture, and enhanced lighting.The price tag comes in at $506,776.Option B would include a smaller dais

and keep the ceiling at the same height,reducing costs related to HVACimprovements. It comes in around$410,403.Option C would have a dais at floor

level and a rear projection screen. Therewould also be no security barrier, thoughit is the cheapest option at $272,205.Council members Roger Aceves and

Michael Bennett argued in favor ofOption A, believing that with new cityhall building not in the foreseeablefuture, the council needs to do more tomake City Council meetings inviting tothe public.“It’s unrealistic to expect that we’re

going to have any kind of a City Hall inthe near future,” Bennett said.

Aceves said the raised dais improvesline-of-sight with council members andthe public, and the overhead projectorallows people to see digital presentationsby staff.“We need to make sure that we pro-

vide the public’s house with a propervenue for them to come and help usmake our decisions,” Aceves said.He also pointed out that the funds

were available from the City HallAcquisition Reserve, $1 million the cityset aside to get a new City Hall.“If we didn’t have the money set

aside, I wouldn’t support it,” he said.However, Mayor Margaret Connell

and Council members Paula Perotte andEd Easton felt the changes may be over-doing it.Connell said that there wasn’t much

wrong with the current layout of theroom that would call for as manychanges as A or B.“I feel like there are other things that

could be done with Option C,” Connellsaid. “I do have a problem spending

$400,000 to $500,000 for the otheroptions.”Perotte believed that the expense of

Options A and B would be inappropriate.“I’m just having a hard time spending

that much money right now with thiseconomy,” Perotte said.Easton also agreed, but noted that

Option C did not have a safety barrier,something all council members felt wascritical. He proposed instructing staff tocome up with another option that includ-ed adding the safety barrier.Easton also suggested moving tables

and chairs for the next meeting to get abetter idea of what a floor-level meetingchamber would look like.“We can get some sense of the reality

of staying on the floor and operating thatway,” Easton said.The council voted 3-2, with Bennett

and Aceves opposed, to send the issueback to city staff in order to come upwith an “Option D” that could be broughtbefore council. Staff also agreed to bringa media presentation of the options.

Democratic control and is not expectedto take up the repeal legislation.Even if the Senate were to pass the

measure, Obama has vowed to veto anyeffort to repeal the healthcare law, one ofhis biggest legislative victories.Republican leaders said they were

committed to trying to repeal it in orderto honor a campaign pledge that helpedthem win control of the House and gainseats in the Senate in congressional elec-tions last November."Our pledge was to repeal 'Obamacare,'"

said House Speaker John Boehner, using aderisive term for the law. "Why? Because itis going to increase spending, increasetaxes and destroy jobs in America."Polls show that Americans are split on

the law. An ABC News/Washington Postpoll this week found that moreAmericans now believe it will hurt ratherthan help the struggling U.S. economy.But the poll also showed that just 18 per-cent favor full repeal of the law.

Republicans say the law saddles busi-nesses with high costs and complicatedregulations. Democrats say the law is anhistoric move to deliver health insuranceto more than 30 million people who cur-rently cannot afford it while also lower-ing medical costs and providing moreconsumer protections.The law will also bar insurance com-

panies from denying coverage to peoplewith pre-existing health conditions.Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner

said repealing the law would damage theeconomy. "Given where we are, we mustdo things that help bolster the recovery, andrepealing the Affordable Care Act wouldbe a step in the wrong direction," he said.TONED DOWN DEBATEA heated debate preceded congres-

sional passage of the law last year. Butthe tone of the repeal debate in Congressthis year was subdued in the aftermath ofthe January 8 shooting in Tucson ofDemocratic Representative GabrielleGiffords, who survived but was gravelywounded.

chased an approved plan that is ready tobe built. The company has the green lightfrom the city to move forward as long asthey do not deviate greatly from what hasalready been approved.Through all of the failed proposals

over the years, one constant hasremained: The city of Santa Barbara hasrequired that the developers seismicallyretrofit The Californian Hotel.The new owners plan to immediately

begin the costly retrofits.The hotel was built in 1925. The

rebuilding of the hotel by 35 State StreetHotel Partners will “fulfill a vision forthe Santa BarbaraWaterfront,” the devel-opers said.They plan to restore one of the hotel’s

original facades, in what will ultimatelybecome a boutique-style hotel. The restof the project will include restaurants,shops, a spa and hotel rooms and vaca-tion units as well as 243 parking spaces,including 120 accessible to the public.The three blocks of the project have

taken many forms in recent years. Attimes, weeds and graffiti overrun theland. The most recent owners MountainFunding worked to clean up the project,remove graffiti and tend to the landscap-ing.Still, three big blocks of prime real

estate so close to the beach has laid fal-low for nearly a decade.“This is a positive development,” said

Jim Armstrong, Santa Barbara CityAdministrator.Armstrong said he’s happy to see that

The Californian will soon get a new coatof paint. Armstrong is also hopeful thatthis time the developers will be able tocomplete the project.

“He’s in the business of developinghotels,” Armstrong said.The project is also debt free.The investment and development

company that purchased the property, ledby Michael Rosenfeld, managing partnerof Next Century Associates, said thecompany plans to take swift action toseismically retrofit the Californian Hotel.

“We are excited to move forward torevitalize the State Street WaterfrontDistrict, Rosenfeld said. “It is a halfblock from the beach and SantaBarbara’s renowned Stearn’s Wharf withshopping and restaurants. It is also just ashort walk up the State Street Paseo toSanta Barbara’s main shopping and din-ing district.The Spanish Colonial Revival style

project will be designed by DesignARCof Santa Barbara, which has also alreadyreceived Design Approvals from theSanta Barbara Historical Landmarks

Commission.“We are delighted to become a mem-

ber of the Santa Barbara community,”Rosenfeld said. “Everyone has beenmost welcoming and inviting.”Steve Cushman, president of the Santa

Barbara Region Chamber of Commerce,is thrilled that the project is moving for-ward.Cushman said the first three blocks of

State St. are the entrance to the city, so itis important for the city to make the mostof that prime real estate.Cushman said that along with plans to

renovate the Hotel State Street, and anew owner of the old BeBop burger, thearea of town could return to its old glory.“Now we have a new purchaser of La

Entrada and that is fantastic,” Cushmansaid. “That’s some really big players nowinvested in the first three blocks of StateSt. and I am very encouraged.”
